How are melting glaciers controllers of the future environment?

Answer:

Explanation: Today, the increasing temperature is causing ice caps on Mount Kilimanjaro and ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland to melt (Lovgren 2004a) (see Appendix 2). This has resulted in the rise in sea level, causing many problems to the nature balance. Cold water fish cannot survive and even coral reefs are dying as the water is becoming too warm. This causes problems for people fishing them as a food source and influences the fisheries in general. Besides, Lovgren (2004b) said that the rising sea level can have serious impacts on low-lying countries, some of which like Indian Ocean’s Maldives or Nile Delta could be submerged. Not only will fishing be affected but people will also have difficulties in finding higher ground for living.

An imbalance in nature’s food chain would be caused by global warming. As ice sheets melt in the Antarctic, the polar bears would be adversely affected since the temperature is too warm for them to live. “Polar bears are entirely dependent on sea ice, you lose sea ice, you lose polar bears” (Malcolm 2004). Additionally, the seal and sea lion population that would otherwise be controlled by polar bears as part of their diet would multiply and overpopulation may occur, causing many fishes being eaten and depleted. This depletion affects fisheries and people living in the northern hemisphere because they must then find other food sources which would be difficult as their main source of protein and food are fish.

A force did 80 j of work on an object in 4 m how big was the force
yanalaym [24]

Work = (force) x (distance)

80 J = (force) x (4 m)

Force = (80 J) / (4 m)  =  20 N

That's IF the force was in the same direction as the 4m of motion.
If the force was kind of slanted, then it had to be stronger, and
it had a component of 20N in the direction of the motion.

I hope you are able to read this question?? Help ASAP this question is on the quiz tommorow
Masteriza [31]

You would be correct.

Because you have only JUST released the arrow, and how close he is to the target, it would have the same amount of energy when it strikes the target. Yes, the kinetic energy would be destroyed when you hit the target but not right away. And yes, the potential energy would also be destroyed once you release the arrow, but it goes straight back once it stops moving, aka when it hits the target, although it has only just stopped moving.

Hope this helps!
